You may be forced to carry books to school with a monotonous monochromatic backpack, but your child does not have to suffer the same fate. Due to the wide variety of officially licensed "Star Wars" backpacks, children of all ages can use bright logos, colorful characters and quirky designs to promote their fanaticism while transporting all their important supplies.

The top choice in this category is the Bioworld Rogue One Rebel backpack because it looks great, big enough for adults, and has enough tissue compartments to rival the best backpacks on the market. Whether you're buying for kids, adults, or someone in between, fans of "Star Wars" are notoriously obsessive and picky, so it's a good idea to consider a few things before making a choice.

The first thing to consider is who this backpack is for. Adults may not be able to take full advantage of backpacks designed for children, and backpacks designed for adults may be too large and bulky for kindergarten children. Backpacks paired with movies usually pay more attention to style rather than substance, which means that there are many mini backpacks and novelty bags with "Star Wars" characters, but they don't provide much storage capacity. If you want to use it as a daily work bag and need something like a laptop case, then your options will be limited. For parents, there are many children’s bags, so you just need to make sure the size matches your child.

"Star Wars" has a history of more than forty years, and there have been many eras with different fan bases. Of course, there are original trilogy, prequel and new movies, as well as animated TV series and new reality shows. If your kids are fans of "The Clone Wars", they may not be as excited about the Kylo Ren backpack, so make sure you know exactly what your target recipients of "Star Wars" movies and shows really like. Some packs come with movie logos and photos of various actors, while others focus on individual characters, so you can choose anything from Rebel or Empire to Ewok or Bounty Hunter.

These bags are used to hold things, like all backpacks, the more pockets, the easier it is to stay organized. Many "Star Wars" backpacks have external pockets, including side pockets for water bottles. However, they are not the best in terms of internal organization and usually have fewer zipper compartments than standard backpacks. If you really want a travel backpack with a lot of convenient storage, themed backpack may not be for you, but if you just want to throw something while showing off your fans, these bags have enough capacity to protect you.

Although there are many standard backpack-shaped "Star Wars" backpacks, there are also some more creative versions designed to look like popular characters, such as R2-D2, Grogu, and Chewbacca. These bags have unusual elements such as protruding ears and strange shapes, and usually don't have the storage capacity of a standard backpack, which makes them fun when gathering with friends, but not very practical in school or daily commuting. If you don’t carry too many things, it’s fun to see you riding around on a plush Yoda.

One thing that a standard backpack is not always suitable is to transport lunch. The ability to keep food cold and prevent leakage is highly valued, which is why cool backpacks can be sold at high prices. These insulated bags allow you to store sandwiches and drinks without worrying about spilling, whether you are bringing food to a picnic or transporting dozens of cans to a softball game. There are some cooler backpacks with a "Star Wars" design, but since they are more of function than style, you won't have a large number of logo options to choose from.

If the backpack you bought is for your child to use at school, you can choose to simultaneously remove several other items from your back-to-school shopping list. There are many all-in-one machines there, including not only backpacks, but also other necessities such as lunch bags, pencil boxes and gym bags. Since these are aimed at children of today, most of the characters are from the recent "Star Wars" property "The Mandalorian", such as the fan favorite Grogu.

Many "Star Wars" backpacks are designed for children, so they are relatively cheap. You can buy a "Star Wars" backpack for as low as $20, but there are some options that include clever designs and furry materials, and the price is as high as $90. The biggest variable is the size of the bag and the characters it contains. You may find that you need to pay more for many backpacks with old movie characters.

Answer: The answer to this question largely depends on the material, and for the "Star Wars" backpack, it may be very different. There are leather, nylon and fabric options, just like traditional backpacks, and furry options that may require professional cleaning. If you want something that is as easy to take care of as possible, find a bag that says it can be wiped clean, because that means you can probably handle most dirty things with a wet towel. This is especially important when buying bags for kids, they may like plush or furry backpacks, but they are not always able to stay away from mud and other dangers.

Answer: It depends on your definition of "obscure". Fans of the extended universe may find themselves wanting a backpack representative, but some of the characters in the backpack are beyond the standards of movies such as Yoda and Darth Vader. There are planets like Kashyyyk, robots like BB-9E, and Jedi sacks like Ahsoka Tano. Obviously, most backpacks only carry movie logos or main characters, but if you are making Halloween costumes and can't find the right accessories, then some bags look like Storm Trooper or Rebel costumes and can be used for various characters.
